A debated head. Is this doll this head? Is that doll really that head? I claim, now and forever that Cali Guy Blaine and Fashion Fever Kurt share head mold with Tango Ken.  So OK; I haven't deboxed Kurt to verify this to a 100%, but that's my take. All these dolls have crooked noses. I always thought my Blaine got it from bad storage, but take a look and you can see all have the same flat left side of their nose (the right side in the photos).

A Latino Ken! Tango Ken is gorgeous in his sunkissed skin and black hair - and painted beard and mustache. He has brown eyes and dark brows. This doll was part of a gift set in a dancing couple series. Barbie also got a new face in this set. The only thing I can and will complain about, is the use of that darn chimpanzee body. The old gymnast body with articulation, by all means, but way oversized limbs. Everything is just too long! That put aside, he is a Hunk!

Ken

In the Wizard of Oz series, or one of them all, there was a Ken as a Winkie Guard. An all green Ken doll without hair. He comes with a glued-on hat to his guard costume. A friend of mine collects the Wicked Witch of the West and have a bunch of them and she bought this guy to add him to her group of green alien girls and she let me borrow his picture.

Blaine

Cali Girl Barbie and her friends - also had a boy among them. Sometimes he got the Cali Guy logo on the box, but Cali Girl happened too ;) - in one version or the other (California/Cali). Blaine, supposedly Summer's brother was Barbie's new sweetheart. Or at least the reason Ken left dollytown for a while.

The year of 2005 brought a whole armada of new friends and one of them all was Kurt. Sold only in this tube Fashion Fever version he is sought after. Or doesn't seem to be among my fellow collector friends. He IS hard to come by but that doesn't mean the demand is high. His pricetag is though. Anyway. Kurt has rooted brown hair and blue eyes. He has straight arms, PTR (point-to-rear). Love his leather jacket!

Rebelde was a teen TV series that ran for three seasons in a range of countries throughout Europe and Spanish talking parts of the world. The characters was made into dolls in several different sets, although the boys were only released in a twin set along with one of the girls.

Miguel Arango Cervera was one of six teens, played by Alfonso Herrera. Miguel was made with the Tango sculpt.
